After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
What stake in KOYN did Verition disclose on its Schedule 13G?
Verition Fund Management LLC and Nicholas Maounis disclosed beneficial ownership of 1,222,466 Class A ordinary shares of KOYN, representing approximately 5.1% of the class. The shares are held for Verition Multi-Strategy Master Fund Ltd, with shared voting and dispositive power reported.
How was Verition’s 5.1% ownership in KOYN calculated?
The 5.1% KOYN ownership is based on 1,222,466 Class A ordinary shares relative to 23,891,250 shares outstanding. The outstanding share count comes from KOYN’s Form 10-Q, which reported that figure as of November 12, 2025, providing the denominator for the percentage.
Who ultimately benefits from the KOYN shares reported by Verition?
The KOYN shares are held for Verition Multi-Strategy Master Fund Ltd, which has the right to receive dividends and sale proceeds. Verition Fund Management LLC acts as investment manager, and Nicholas Maounis is its managing member, so they may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power.
Are KOYN warrants included in Verition’s reported beneficial ownership?
KOYN warrants are excluded from Verition’s reported beneficial ownership. The filing states the Class A shares underlying warrants are not counted because the warrants cannot be exercised within 60 days, which is the SEC’s threshold for including derivative securities in beneficial ownership.
Does Verition seek to influence control of KOYN with this 5.1% position?
The filing characterizes Verition’s KOYN position as passive. The filers certify the securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the issuer or participating in related control transactions.
What voting and dispositive powers over KOYN shares did Verition report?
Verition and Nicholas Maounis reported zero sole voting or dispositive power over KOYN shares, and shared voting and dispositive power over 1,222,466 Class A ordinary shares. This structure reflects their roles regarding Verition Multi-Strategy Master Fund Ltd, which directly holds the reported securities.
